Warhammer, Rogue Trader Notes

And Vraks and the threat of the void are constantly being brought up by the preachers.

The vehicle continued to move forward, they passed through the tall Leonis Gate, and in front of them was the square of St. Leonis Church in Vraks.A small monastery next to it was the base of Savann's original guard, the "Silver Shroud" battle nuns.

Out of etiquette and last reverence for the saint, Siegel and Remulle got out of the car.

Siegel looked at the Gothic cathedral built of pure white marble, with towering spiers made of rare blue stone.All building materials come from worlds other than Vraks.Only the state religion has such financial resources and expends such energy to build such a magnificent cathedral in the Arsenal world.

This may be the biggest loophole in the face of Vraks. At the same time, it also serves as the holy land world. The inexhaustible labor force brought by the continuous pilgrims to Vraks has also created a weakness for this impregnable fortress. .

The original intention of the State Church to build a church on Vraks is good. This church was originally built to appease the emotions of the workers on Vraks, and to commemorate the workers who died during the construction of Vraks.

But the church also gave people outside the Ministry of War an excuse to get into Vraks.When a fortress has a wide open door, it is difficult to play its role.

The corridor windows of the church formed a series of religious paintings with stained glass. Siegel looked at the church in front of him, recalling bit by bit the first time he arrived in Vlax.

The noise of the preaching group completely destroyed the religious atmosphere here.

He strolled casually in the square in front of the church, and there was no sound in the monastery where the silver shroud was.

Siegel stopped here for a while, and he still didn't try to contact the other party in the end, it was not time yet.

Siegel finally stepped onto the steps of St. Leonis Church. He did not enter the church where the emperor's icon was placed, but walked along the small door on the side towards the basement of the church after entering the door.

The basement of the church had a gloomy feeling, and Siegel and Remulle walked deeper underground bit by bit.

This is the way to the coffin of Leonis, where pilgrims would walk to visit the remains of the saint.Both sides of the passage are covered with the bones of pilgrims. Most of them made corresponding oaths on the way of pilgrimage. The common ones are silent oaths, while the radical ones are more "challenging", such as cutting off water or starvation.

Out of respect for these pilgrims, and also to embody the teachings of sacrifice and dedication of the state religion, these bones were honored to be left here, and of course, everything was removed except for the bones.

After a long and narrow path, Siegel and Remulle finally arrived at the underground palace where the saint's coffin was stored.

Perhaps the death-worshiping assassin was watching him and Remulle in the shadow of the underground palace, but Siegel didn't care.He quietly looked at the coffin in front of him where the saint's remains were stored, and it was here that he finally decided to try to intervene in Vraks' affairs.

Siegel didn't perform any rituals towards the saint in front of him, he just stood upright, holding his saber tightly in his right hand.

Looking calmly at the coffin of the saint in front of him, Remulle stood quietly behind Siegel without saying a word.

【"Blind" Saint Leonis, it seems that after the heresy took away your physical eyes, it also took your psychological eyes away.How ironic that the heretic was crowned as the supreme leader of the state religion in this sector under your witness. 】

【And the battle between the Empire and Chaos is about to begin. Looking at you lying here, it is really hard to imagine that the believers of Chaos will do anything to your corpse. 】

【Unfortunately, whether it is for the benefit of the empire or the dynasty, I am afraid I don’t have time to take care of you. I hope your soul has already reached the emperor’s side. 】

"If one day you become the 'saint' of the empire, would you wish to be like him?" Remulle asked suddenly.

Siegel understood what the other party meant, after all, there was no word "live" in front of the saint.

"I don't think I have a chance to become a saint of the empire." Siegel paused, and then continued: "But if there is such a day, don't bury me in this underground palace, I am not interested in the respect of future generations Make my corpse into a shield more than two meters high, someone will get it under the emperor's guidance."

Oh, I forgot to mention it, let’s talk about worshiping death here

Leather clothing or leather armor is indeed the standard equipment for worshiping the dead

As for the homophonic stalk that Baisi originally played, considering the style of worshiping death cult, there is nothing unreasonable for members of worshiping death cult to wear silk stockings.

In addition... ahem... I really like this, of course I have a lot of good things.

The exaggerated high-heeled shoes are also the original style of worshiping death, maybe the British guys like this.

But I feel normal.jpg

As for the costumes of the Death Cultists on the ship... ahem... it's not convenient for me to write directly in the article, but you can understand it as a bunny girl who took off the rabbit ear decoration

Volume II Flax: Chapter [-] Deacon Mamon

When Siegel walked out of St. Leonis Church, a large crowd had already gathered in front of the church square.

Missionaries and missionaries in cassocks surrounded a man in catechism uniform. The man was short in stature, with clean shaved hair. Compared with the members of the church behind him, his figure was thinner and he looked sickly. .

Siegel stood on the steps of the church, watching the man and the state church personnel behind him whispering orders.Compared with the complacency of other state church personnel behind him, the man's expression looked humble and steady.

Just looking at the other person's appearance, it is impossible to imagine that this person is the mastermind behind Vraks.

Savan has been in Vraks for more than a month. Except for a few routine teachings, the bishop of the star area sealed himself in the bishop's palace, and only a few selected people can see him.

Among these few people, Deacon Mamon, who was the leader, soon became a celebrity in Flax Fortress.

With Savan's official inauguration, the normal operation of the Flaks Fortress resumed, but Mamon and the preachers under Savan's subordinates continued to influence the interior of Flax.

Deacon Mamon and the disciples of Savannah following behind him also noticed Siegel and Remulle standing in front of St. Leonis Church.

After a month of investigation, Mamon also found out about Siegel's situation, whether he was a rogue trader or a well-known pilgrim within the state religion.

He knew about this, and Mamon didn't hide these things from Savan, but he said to Savan: "Siegel hasn't visited you since you became the bishop of the sector. It must be His belief in the God-Emperor is superficial, and he is afraid that a great believer of the God-Emperor like you will see through the essence of his false belief at a glance. For a wanderer like him, the pilgrim is his last fig leaf."

Savan was satisfied with Mamon's explanation, people are like this, they are often only willing to believe what they want to believe.Savan believes more and more that Siegel is a typical heretic. As long as he catches Siegel's handle, he can punish Siegel as the opening ceremony of burning the entire starry jihad.

And this behavior will undoubtedly further enhance his reputation in Scarus.

Mamon also has a lot of interest in this. In terms of importance, Savan is obviously much higher than Siegel.But he is also willing to try to use Savann's power to attack Siegel.

Whether it is to tarnish the opponent's reputation, drive the opponent away from Flax, or even kill Siegel altogether, it is a favorable result for Mamon.

However, the two sides have never faced each other directly. Mamon is still not sure about the purpose of Siegel's appearance in Vraks. His ultimate goal is to dedicate Vraks, a fortress that has stood for nearly ten thousand years, to the God of Chaos. Every move may cause his precious plan to get out of hand, or even be exposed in advance.

He looked at Siegel with his usual expression, and there was no madness in his eyes that wanted to put him to death.Even the most demanding master of ceremonies could not find fault with his Skyhawk ceremony.

"You are Lord Siegel, right? I am Mamon, the deacon of Bishop Savan." Mamon's voice was flat but powerful, and he knew how to control his tone, "Bishop Savan heard about you the day he came to Vlaks I am also in Vlaks, and I have been looking forward to seeing you, but it is a pity that you have not appeared in the bishop's palace."

"Bishop Savan has mentioned his regrets to me more than once."

Siegel put his right hand casually on the hilt of the saber at his waist, and walked down the steps of St. Leonis step by step.

Siegel stood in front of Mamon, looking at the traitor in front of him seriously.

Mamon felt a little uncomfortable being seen by Siegel. For some reason, he felt that the other party seemed to see his intentions.

But that feeling disappeared in an instant.

"I'm really sorry, Deacon Mamon, please tell Bishop Savan for me. The dynasty's transportation permit is about to expire, and the empire's front-line supply mission cannot be delayed. I need to be responsible for the empire's soldiers, and try my best to transport them in the new transportation Prepare enough munitions for the frontline soldiers before the permit is approved."

"Master Siegel is really loyal to the empire." Mamon complimented Siegel, and he continued: "I think Bishop Savan will forgive your rudeness when he hears your plan. But Lord Siegel, Faith still needs to be practiced.”

"Of course, you are right, Deacon Mamun. Words are sometimes better than swords, but actions can be used to practice faith. You are a model of using actions to practice faith. The dynasty is busy with affairs, so I am sorry that I cannot continue to discuss the doctrine with you It's gone." Siegel walked away from Mamun's side, and the disciples of Savan involuntarily made way for Siegel.

Siegel and Remulle walked through the wide square in front of the church.

"He is Marmon?" Remulle has been with Siegel during this time, and Siegel can see the information Siegel obtained from Vraks as long as she wants.She did see a lot, and she knew exactly who Siegel focused on.

In addition to the local defense chief General Carter, Minister of Military Affairs Willie, General Shen of the Ministry of Justice, the "Silver Shroud" nun guards, and most importantly, Mamon.

"Yes, how do you feel?"

"It's strange..." Remulle controlled herself not to look back at the bishop and deacon. "How should I put it, the deacon does have many people who are as scheming as he is, but he seems... very good at it."

"Yeah..." Siegel opened the car door while muttering, and he suddenly noticed some extra gazes.

Lift your head and look in the direction of the feeling.

In the monastery next to the church, several battle nuns walked out of the monastery.

The silver-white armor reflected the light of the stars in the Vraks galaxy, and even Siegel couldn't help squinting.

Feel the sunshine, or you won't be feeling it anytime soon.

However, the line of sight was not from the nuns, Siegel moved his line of sight upwards.

In the shadow of the monastery spire, a blond-haired Pandey was lying lazily on it. After noticing Siegel's gaze, she waved at Siegel casually.

……

Siegel and Remulle passed through the disciples of Savannah, and it wasn't until they left that everyone present realized what had just happened.

The missionaries and evangelists yelled angrily.

"Who does he think he is?"

"Too arrogant!"

"Potential heresy!"

Seeing that his subordinates were so unsatisfactory, Ma Meng shouted: "Enough! A small rogue trader is no match for Bishop Savan's great plan. You must do your best to fulfill your duties."

I should, probably, probably have a cold

I don't have a fever yet, but I feel pain all over my body

Seems like it might be sunny

But no kits...

Volume [-] of Flax: Chapter [-] Manticore and Malcador

As time moved on, Siegel's influence on Vraks began to take a sharp turn for the worse.Relying on Savan's financial resources and power, more and more officials began to cooperate with Savan's work, and some officials who were unwilling to cooperate with Mamun were dismissed from their posts.

Siegel's accumulated connections in the officialdom of Flax were completely destroyed by Mamon, and Flax's officialdom was also greatly affected by Mamon's continuous intervention.

West

Geer showed considerable restraint and tolerance for Mamun's actions. He just asked Altair to contact the officials who were dismissed by Mamon, and did not ask them to do anything or talk to them. He just guaranteed their living conditions, and at the same time Give them a fair amount of respect.

These people may come in handy in the future, they have served Vraks for many years, and they will inevitably come into contact with Simmi on Vraks.

The key defense measures of Flax Fortress, the important materials buried deep at the bottom of Flax, etc., these people may be able to provide Siegel with a little bit of clues.

This is indeed the case. Siegel learned of several secret warehouses in several Vraks underground arsenals, and no one knew what was contained in them.

The assassins who worshiped the death cult confirmed the location of the warehouse, and because it was sealed by the huge gear airtight door, they could not know what was stored inside.

The locations of several laser macrocannon arrays have been identified, but many more orbital defenses have yet to be identified.

The location of the most critical void shield generator has not yet been found. Siegel only knows that this thing is buried under Vraks. This involves whether the fleet will stare at Vraks in deep space or can it attack the fortress in orbit. Conduct orbital bombing.

Without the support of the starship, it would be difficult for Siegel to last long enough in Vraks.After the turmoil, the sooner Siegel withdrew, the less profit he could take away.

There are indeed many very expensive weapons and armor in this universe, but there are not many expensive weapons in the Imperial Guard, and the number must be guaranteed to obtain sufficient profits.

When it comes to expensive weapons, Colonel Meyer, who manages the import and export of Vraks, has to be mentioned.After Marmon took a series of actions either to control Flax or to target Siegel, Colonel Meyer actually remained in this key position.

Siegel also had to admire the keen sense of smell of this fat, corrupt officer.When Meyer discovered the turmoil in Flax's officialdom, he even strengthened his connection with Siegel, proposed "ten plans and thirteen plans", and asked Siegel to report an extra [-]% of the loss.

The provisions required ten items to be transferred, but Meyer allocated thirteen items from the warehouse. If Siegel reported [-]% more loss, then at least five items fell into Siegel's hands.

After the two sides confirmed, they tacitly stopped discussing these matters.Due to a large number of personnel changes, Meyer's plan has never been discovered.

And for the next action, Siegel also began to touch materials that he had never used before, such as Manticore.

Manticore missile launch vehicle, this thing is more sensitive than the super-heavy tank in a sense.

Siegel took various Imperial Guard armored force vehicles from Vraks, and even the Valdotan J and Minotaur self-propelled artillery were stored by him in the Dynasty's warehouse.Even so, Siegel had no idea of ​​any Manticore missile launcher.

It's not that Rogue Traders don't have the right to equip this kind of vehicle, it's just that they will be subject to many unnecessary investigations.

Moreover, this thing is notoriously difficult to serve. The empire's missile-type weapons all have this problem, whether it is the torpedo on the ship or the missile on the ground.

Of course, all its shortcomings can be tolerated under the terrifying power of the Storm Eagle missile, which is a rare missile in the empire.The reason why this missile has survived the baptism of the years and has not lost its technology is that it is powerful enough to be suitable for any battlefield.

A well-timed Storm Eagle missile can turn the tide of a small battle.

Of course, not the battle of Vraks.

Each Storm Eagle warhead is a cargo bay for hundreds of high-explosive rounds.Each bomb has been soaked in the holy ointment of the Mechanicum, and has been hand-carved with a hundred hymns of wrath.

Siegel once asked a Mechanicus sage about the specific circumstances of these things, and Mel told Siegel that these things were carried out by low-level priests commanding the servants.

And things that can be processed by machine servants can be regarded as automated production lines, um, imperial characteristic automated production lines.

In addition to the Manticore missile launch vehicle, Siegel is going to stockpile a certain amount of Manticore missiles.After all, after leaving Vraks, the supplement of Storm Eagle missiles can only be done on forged planets or hive worlds with strong industrial capabilities or industrial space stations.

In fact, the torpedoes on the starship also face similar problems as the Storm Eagle missiles.But fleet marching is different from single-ship combat. Siegel cannot arbitrarily choose a heavy adamantine bow and use the Moon-class as the super giant torpedo of the empire.

Well, the Retribution class is the Apocalypse class torpedo.

In addition to Manticore, Siegel focused on those warehouses that were located closer to the star port, especially the arsenal that stored the Leman Russ main battle tank, the Annihilator destroyer, and the Malcador heavy tank.

With the exception of the Valdor destroyer and the Minotaur, the Macador heavy tank, which served as the prototype for the chassis of these vehicles, was almost entirely abandoned by Siegel.

A large number of Malcador heavy tanks and spare parts are stored on Vraks for emergencies, far exceeding the other two Imperial Guard relics on the same site.
